Xabat snorted and released the condensed Tai Chi Power in her hands, morphing them into two golden


    foxes that bellowed like thunder, hurtling straight toward James.

    Confronted with the mystical force, James remained motionless.


    As the two golden foxes charged forward, he bore an ominous grin.


    Then, something strange urred.


    Upon reaching James, the two golden foxes abruptly halted and their roars silenced.


    Their bodies underwent a rapid reduction, transforming into two small nine-tailed foxes.


    “W-What’s going on? Why are my pets showing such deference toward him?” Xabat murmured in


    horror.


    Immediately afterward, Xabat’s two nine-tailed foxes suddenly released beams of purple-gold lights,


    which were whisked away by James.


    Seeing the scene before her, she waspletely dumbfounded.


    Xabat suffered a bacsh and crimson blood dripped from her lips as she staggered backward.


    ‘No, this cannot be.


    Despite his skills in closebat, he is merely at the Fifth Xaeclon Rank.


    He can’t break the soul contract between me and my pets.’ She raised her head abruptly, fury etched


    on her beautiful face.


    She immediately questioned, “What are you?! What kind of sorcery did you use?” James replied with a


    grin, “Enough with the nonsense.


    If you have any tricks left up your sleeves, go ahead and use them.


    You are running out of time.” “Arrogant fool.


    I’m at the Seventh Xaeclon Rank.


    You think you can defeat me with such sorcery?” As she spoke, she waved her hand and summoned a


    golden whip spanning 10,000 meters.


    After infusing Tai Chi Power into the whip, she swung it at James.


    Simultaneously, a radiant golden light burst out from the graceful figure, amplifying her powerful aura.


    “Herees the golden body,” James quipped, then deftly evaded the whip.


    His body shimmered with gray, ck, and white, leaving behind a trail of afterimages.


    “Die!” Xabat shouted, then darted forward.


    She unleashed Tai Chi Powers to form several golden cyclones, instantly sweeping James into them.


    The cyclones gathered to form a massive one that crackled with lightning, boomed with thunder, and


    roared with furious winds.


    Xabat shouted, “You left me no choice, James.


    Goldawn Formation can adjust its strength ordingly.


    Surrender peacefully, and I’ll spare you from further suffering.” After speaking, she unleashed Tai Chi


    Power within the formation, aiming to vanquish James instantly.” As the cyclone whirled ferociously,


    Xabat sensed it might not be sufficient to obliterate James’ spirit.


    Determined, she cast several Supernatural Powers toward the formation.


    Xabat could not help expressing her regret.


    “James, James, your history speaks of bravery and devotion to love.


    You once stood as a beacon of righteousness, a true hero.


    "If only you adhered to the Laws of Tai Chi, you would’ve reached the Daeclon Rank.


    Why plunge into darkness and side with the Dark Heavenly Path? Xabat heaved a deep breath and


    said, “A single misstep can seal your fate of doom.


    Though I hold admiration for you, I am bound by Tai Chi’s decree.


    I must end you today.


    “Failure to do so will unleash chaos upon the Genesis Worlds, and I would not be able to return to


    Zymurgy to cultivate.” As soon as she finished speaking, mocking praise resounded in the air.


    Startled, Xabat raised her head and her expression changed drastically.


    “W-Who’s there eavesdropping?”
